a bad wreck but fortunately no loss OF life.
Engineer John Meeks, with his fireman

from the Alice mine. It was raining and
the rails were vet and slippery. Engine 1

tank, and seeing that it was not sufficient to
hold her, applied the force OF the air on the
drivers. She h commenced to slip and
he put his engine in the forward motion.
But the slippery rails were too much TO
fight against and the engine was attaining
d terrible rate of speed. They were nearing
a curve where the switch was set for the
switchback leading over the hill to the
Wake Up Jim mine, an incline with a grade
az steep as the one they were coming down.

switch she fireman jumped of, dislocating
Il wrist and receiving an injury in the side.
The engineer and conductor climbed out on
the pilot. and as the engine struck the
switch they jumped. The tank left the
rails first and the engine turned over on it's

THE BLAME RIGHTLY ATTACHED.

At the meeting at Miners Union Hall on
Saturday evening, the workiDgmen who are
most vitality interested in the speedy adj
justment Of the salt question in conformity
with the request made OF the Union Pacific
expressed themselves with moderation and
to the point. The high rate OF salt, and
that alone, is the cause of the Alice being
shut down and the possibility OF other
mills following suit. The Union Pacific
road asserts that coal is broug It here as
cheaply as it is because the existence of the
community depends upon 1t furnishing fuel
At q low price. If it comedies that as a rea-
SOC for furnishing coal at 81 a ton. Mr..
Potter or Mr.. Munroe can very easily and
quickly be convinced that there exists just
as imperative a reason why salt should be
furnished to the Butte mills at the smallest
possible margin. This would be less than
81 a ton, but the mill men here are willing
to pay $3.50. The Alice will resume the
moment this concession is made, and the
knowledge OF the fact was stated in plain
and u~nmistakabie terms by the speakers
at the Saturday night meeting. It is
not a question of wages, for the circular of
the Alice Company issued to their en-
ployes, in explaining the cause OF their shut
down. made no mention of any other cause
than the high price of salt and promised re-
sumption when the price was reduced to a
reasonable figure, mentioning $3.50.
Should the other silver mills follow the
of the Alice. what would the result
the Union Pacific be? The loss of prob.
ably half the revenue that road now de-
rives from this camp, at least. The num-
her OF men thrown out of employment
would speedily reduce the OF the
camp, and by consequence the profitable
carriage to and from Butte which
the Utah & Northern to make the
showing that it does il the Union
Pacific system. We do not wish to be un-
derstood az saying that all the silver mills
here are In the same plight as the Alice.
The occasional development OF new and
properties and the con-
profitable working of some of
the old in the vicinity enable these
custom mills to keep on 1T the narrow
margin OF profit left them. But were the
price OF salt reduced to the figure men,
they could increase the returns
pay to the miner who brings his
Ore to them as well as have a wider mar
gin left for themselves. In addition to
this, there would be an incentive for
lessees once more TO take hold of leases
which. under the improved conditions OF
the amended mechanics lien law, lessons
will be only too ready to make. But
when the miner finds his hard and dan
.erous toll yield him the low returns
which the mills can now barely afford, his
appetite for prospecting is not very keen.
The resolutions to be framed by the COM
OF the Miners Union will add
weight to the memorial of the Board of
Trade forwarded to Mr.. Potter a couple of
weeks ago as showing that the workingmen
II the camp are as keenly alive to the
Of the situation as the business
men and know where to place the blame.
